Why to Convert CGM to FLATOPC
The CGM (Computer Graphics Metafile) file format is a vector graphics format used for storing and exchanging graphics data. It is widely used in the engineering and technical drawing fields. However, the FLATOPC (Flat Open Packaging Convention) file format is a newer, more advanced file format that is used for storing and exchanging documents. It is becoming increasingly popular due to its ability to store documents in a single file, making it easier to share and collaborate on documents. Therefore, it is often necessary to convert CGM files to FLATOPC in order to make them more accessible and easier to work with.
How Aspose.Total Helps CGM to FLATOPC Conversion
Aspose.Total for C++ is a comprehensive suite of file format automation libraries that enables C++ developers to easily convert CGM to FLATOPC in two simple steps. Firstly, the Aspose.PDF for C++ API can be used to convert CGM files to DOC. Secondly, the advanced Word Document Processing API, Aspose.Words for C++, can be used to export DOC to FLATOPC. This makes it easy to convert CGM files to FLATOPC without having to manually convert each file.
Aspose.Total for C++ also offers a range of other features that make it an ideal choice for C++ developers. It includes a wide range of APIs for working with different file formats, including PDF, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and more. It also offers a range of features for manipulating documents, such as text extraction, document comparison, and more. Additionally, Aspose.Total for C++ is easy to use and can be integrated into existing applications with minimal effort.
C++ API to Render CGM to FLATOPC
Get Started with C++ File Automation APIs
Install from command line as nuget install Aspose.Total.Cpp
or via Package Manager Console of Visual Studio with Install-Package Aspose.Total.Cpp
.
Alternatively, get the offline MSI installer or DLLs in a ZIP file from downloads .
// load CGM file with an instance of Document class reference
auto doc = MakeObject<Document>(u"sourceFile.cgm");
// save CGM as a DOC
doc->Save(u"DocOutput.doc", SaveFormat::Doc);
// load DOC with an instance of Document
System::SharedPtr<Document> wordDoc = System::MakeObject<Document>(u"DocOutput.doc");
// save document as FlatOpc
wordDoc->Save(u"output.FlatOpc");
Change Password of CGM Document via C++
In the process of rendering CGM to FLATOPC, you can open a password protected CGM and also change its password. In order to change the password of a CGM file, you must know the owner password of that document. You can load password protected PDF document with Aspose.PDF for C++ by specifying its owner password and use ChangePasswords method to change the password.
// load an existing CGM Document
auto doc = MakeObject<Document>(L"input.cgm", L"owner");
// change password of CGM Document
doc->ChangePasswords(L"owner", L"newuser", L"newuser");
// save the document
doc->Save(L"output.Doc");
Restrict FLATOPC File Editing via C++
You can also restrict FLATOPC file editing using using Aspose.Words for C++ API. Sometimes you may need to limit the ability to edit a document and only allow certain actions with it. API enables you to control the way you restrict the content using the ProtectionType enumeration parameter. The following code example demonstrates how to restrict editing in a document so only editing in form fields is possible.
// load Doc with an instance of Document
auto doc = System::MakeObject<Document>("input.doc");
// document protection only works when document protection is turned and only editing in form fields is allowed.
doc->Protect(ProtectionType::AllowOnlyFormFields, u"password");
// save the protected document.
doc->Save(u"Protected.FlatOpc");
